how'd we get to Shakespeare, you rarely get ripples. I heard this the other day. This is a paraphrase from the nut, but Scorsese said the greatest battle scene ever filmed was Orson Welles' "Chimes at Midnight." There are two things, three things, where as soon as I knew it was a thing to be had, I negotiated tax returns with my life. It was 85 dollars for the VHS of Chimes at Midnight, it was $360 of Joseph Campbell on James Joyce VHS. I haven't seen Chimes at Midnight in 20 years, and I have 20 VCRs, it's cued on the HBO TMC, it's the Henry lV's and V, passion project. I've seen it twice in the big runs between Shakespeare and Orson Welles, and not to be a dick, you know this is where it's at and I put in a lot of time and soul, naked wife upstairs under a lamp with Shakespeare, I don't know it all but I have opinions. And I had sex.
